Navigation Portlet Bundle: Dynamic URL Links ?

Has anyone found a creative way to pass variables to the link field of the Navigation Portlet? For example, lets say ...
• Navigation Portlet is on the Customer Dashboard
• I want to create a Link to a New Task
• Link might look like https://xxxxxx.app.netsuite.com/app/crm/calendar/task.nl?company=*228578*
• Can I put a variable at the end of the URL so the internalid is picked up dynamically?

Comes out of the box on the customer dash already? (See below)

You don't need dynamic company id at the end, just use relative links, just start them at `/app/crm/...`

Yes - you are correct - the links are available as part of the Customer Dashboard Link menu. My challenge: I've got to create a subset of those links as many of them are not appropriate based on the user role.

Hi - the relative link is an option but I've got to be able to pass the entityid at the end so it looks (something like) <http://task.nl?company={entityid}|task.nl?company={entityid}> . I've never tried to pass a variable through the Navigation Portlet and it may not be possible. The solution may be putting the links in an inline HTML custom portlet.

Why do you need to pass the `company=?` , the companyId is in their dynamic url already
